Thinking I have an outbreak of cyano. I have a reddish brown algae covering the sand, and I’m having to scrape the glass multiple times a day and it’s making the water cloudy. Any recommendations? Not sure if this related, but I had bottomed out nitrates few weeks ago. I increased my feedings to twice a day, but this cyano seems to have gotten worse. I’ve been dosing NeoNitro and got my nitrates to 4 so I’m happy with that. Nothing appearing stressed. I’ve stopped dosing coral animos daily, and temporarily stopping feeding the corals incase this is fueled from a nutrient overload. My parameters have been decent other than my low nitrates. I’ve added more snails over the weekend too. Trying to combat this as naturally as possible.
Caught my clown cleaning his corner today. He was doing it more till he saw me recording and got embarrassed lol.
Please excuse the dirty tank! Went on vacation and came back to a huge cyano boom, it’s gotten way better over the past few days.
Starting to make some progress on Cyano battle #2! Everyone happy and healthy otherwise. Got the flow dialed in to help, hope we’re on the upside of it now! 🤞🏻
How do you deal with cyano?
Just removed all of the Palylies and am going through a cyano battle at the moment but all my pieces look happy.
New tank cycling and this is showing up, only in this corner. Good? Bad? What do I do? 🤷🏻♀️ (the red stuff)
Dealing with Cyano, getting better overtime slowly after putting in chemi clean elite, dropping phosphate slowly
Wish this cyano would disappear
Mind the dirty tank, I’m fighting Dinos, but I have been waiting months for a pair of these Watanabei Angels. I ended up with two females and hoping the dominant one will change to male 🤞
Need some help.. my tank has been completely overrun by algae.. not sure what I need to do. My fish seem fine, but the tank looks atrocious. Any tips on what I need to do? I can’t tell if this is cyano or dino’s.. ordered a microscope to try and identify what this is to take the appropriate steps. Any tips?
Fighting another bout of Cyano, not as bad as the first one few weeks ago but still frustrated it came back. This round I’m adding a protein skimmer this week and also starting to question upgrading my wavemaker. I seem to be getting some dead spots despite changing the wavemaker positions so not sure if I need something stronger? I have a 1500gph Hygger DC, and considering upgrading to an AI Nero 3, which is what I initially wanted but hesitated bc of price. Any thoughts?

Been dealing with Cyano since February. I’ve had Chemiclean to use but have been exhausting all other natural methods before I use it. I must say, I’m really impressed with Tropic Marin Cyo Control. I completed the final dose today (which is why the water is a little cloudy temporarily) and it has reduced the Cyano by 75% so far. Paired with some maintenance changes, removing the Cyano before each of the 3 doses, it’s really impressive how things are clearing up. Even the back wall almost completely cleared up after the first dose. 💪🏻💪🏻
